ESOTU Delve: Wansalen

Legend has it that the excavation of Wansalen was halted, and the halls abandoned, when the Elven miners roused and angered an ancient rock-spirit called a Gheatus. But the wise Sapiarchs of the Crystal Tower dismiss this story as a fable with no truth to it. 

Located in a hidden valley, Wansalen is accessed by a mine in the hills north of the Quendeluun Wayshrine. Generally, this delve is not a favourable location to farm crafting materials.  The circular nature of the ruin and fast spawning undead, might be suitable for a grinding experience on a low character while gathering crafting materials, notably guts, worms, and fleshfly larvae.

ESOTU Delve: Bewan

The high vaulted halls of Bewan were originally built in the Merethic Era as a shrine to Trinmac. Bwean was abandoned early in the First Era when the priesthood moved to the grand Trinimac Chantry outside Skywatch.

Located in the hills southwest of Dawnbreak, the old Trinimac shrine of Bewan is now being used as a Maomer base. As is common for delves inhabited by humanoids, there are ample of provisioning containers and a few potentially lucrative backpacks. On my visit, I found a dusty Praxis: High Elf Table, Winged Kitchen in one of the backpacks. The Giant Snakes inside are a decent source of Oils and Hides.  Overall, the farming potential of this delve is average.

ESOTU Delve: Ondil

Now ruined, the subterranean halls of Ondil were built in the early First Era to house Kinlady Fiorallelle’s extension collection of ceramic figurines. It was abandoned before completion when its alignment with the constellation of the Attronach was found to be seven percent off true.

Ondil is located just Northeast of Tanzelwil Wayshrine. This circular delve contains several fast spawning lower health creatures that are suitable for harvesting hides and filling empty soul gems. It’s numerous bookshelves may be ideal for new players to visit to earn some quick ranks in a few of their unmaxed skill lines.
